    The only thing disappointing was that the fish was overcooked. Other than that it was really good

    We had the best bruschetta … ever! Seriously, we’ve had bruschetta MANY times and Mona Lisa’s was in a class by itself! The halibut and pesto pasta were also great. Plus, the service was friendly and fantastic, and it was great to sit outside in North Beach. And (another “and,” really?) the prices were reasonable! We also loved spending time in THE city; San Francisco’s demise is far from a fait accompli (sp?). And (here we go again), the only downside was I had to park so far away that I considered getting an Uber back to our car after the meal.

    This was my second time at Mona Lisa Mare e Monti. It was just as good as before. The ambiance is terrific, food delicious and servers friendly and engaging. A great experience all around. The only challenge is parking in the neighborhood. I'd suggest public transit or a cab to save some stress. Either way, it's totally worth it! I look forward to the next time!
